You really should wait more than a day for answers. Lots of people
(me, for instance) read the newsgroup once aq day.

I don't think there's a cross-platform solution for these things,
because different platforms handle printing in different manners. Your
URL talks about shellExecute for Windows. On Unix, I expect to be able
to hand ps to lpr and have the right thing happen. pdf may need a
pdf2ps (part of ghostscript) run on it first, or it may not, depending
on the system setup.
